Ramesh said the Union government would act against the society in two to three days. The 31-storey building was allegedly erected violating green norms. The Maharashtra environment department and the coastal zone authorities have denied giving clearance to the society, he said.

The minister added that a report from the state urban department was awaited to ascertain whether it gave the nod to Adarsh society. The state urban department is not authorised to clear buildings which violate green norms.

If the Adarsh promoters are found guilty of violating norms for construction, several floors of the high-rise might be demolished.
